About this deal

Mini Tip - This is a smaller version of the Probe Tip, designed for smaller mouths (about 2.5 years and under). This age recommendation is not a hard-and-fast rule though - we've seen younger kids use the Probe Tip and older individuals use the Mini Tip. A treatment protocol that seems to be working may be influenced by diet, the weather, mood, concurrent techniques, and 57 other variables. Because the program (generally) does not cause harm, it is worth trying. It can increase a child’s ability to optimize their arousal and activity levels as well as decrease sensory defensiveness. The Wilbarger brushing protocol involves the sensory brush, paired with joint compressions, completed in a sequence and according to a schedule.

Include brushing into daily routines such as diapering, toileting, dressing, transitions between activities Some autistic toothbrushes don’t use bristles at all! Instead, they rely on ultrasound technology to eliminate plaque, bad breath, and cavities. This is a great option for kids who find regular toothbrushing too overwhelming or uncomfortable, or have dexterity issues that stop them using proper technique. What are the Benefits of Using Toothbrushes for Autistic Children? Bonus Tip! Offering choices during an challenging activity such as brushing teeth, gives your child some sense of control of the situation. Tip # 7: Mouthwash that Shows the PlaqueDentist visits can be stressful, but they are necessary for dental health. But finding a toothbrush that your Autistic child wants to use and enjoys using is life-changing, and less stressful than frequent trips to the dentist. Once they see where the plaque is, make a game out of cleaning all the “junk” out of their mouth. For kids that are older, you can use the visual the mouthwash gives to start talking about cavities, and the effects of not cleaning your teeth. Tip #8: Brush Only One Time Per Day Another perk of using a tooth brushing visual schedule is that it ensures that the same routine is used every time that tooth brushing occurs. This can also help to reduce stress and anxiety by ensuring that the child knows what’s coming next. Which brings us to tip # 2! Tip # 2: Create and Use a Consistent Routine If you’re using a gentler toothbrush, still make sure to wet the bristles before putting any toothpaste on them. Gently massage the surrounding bristles of the teeth and gum line, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Rinse thoroughly with warm water when finished. Choosing The Right Toothpaste

Many autistic children show symptoms of SPD. Some sounds, textures or tastes can easily overload their senses, causing them to scream, cry or act out. Your child may also have sensory issues beyond their mouth. They might be reacting to the bathroom environment; perhaps the colours or just the general feel. You can also try changing the toothpaste to one with a child-friendly flavour or have them brush their teeth in another room (maybe they don’t like the bathroom).This can calm down any over-active receptors that are misfiring and help bring a child’s level of alertness to a normal (calm) level. When is The Best Time to Use Sensory Brushing? The best thing about these brushes is that they are specifically designed to suit the needs of Autistic people. They are made from soft materials, which means that they won’t hurt your child’s teeth when you use them. These tips can help to break any negative behaviors or emotions that may surround your child’s tooth brushing routine, and give you a foundation to start a fresh routine. Start by trying one recommendation that you think will work for your child, give it a week and if it’s still not working try another. Working through toothbrushing challenges takes time and is a trial-and-error process. Hopefully you find these tips helpful! There are three main types of autistic toothbrushes, each having its own unique properties. So it’s good to look at a few different options to see what works best. These are: 3-Sided Toothbrushes
